Cloud Directory recognises iCloudHosting leadership
2011 will be seen as the year that cloud took its popularity mainstream. We had a great year, with many new customer wins and technological advancements. It's a great commendation for the hard work of all of our staff that we received strong commendations from Cloud Directory as the #3 most popular cloud hosting provider in December 2011. We're delighted to win this accolade, and would like to thank all of our clients for their support, and reiterate our commitment to delivering the highest level of service, performance and reliability from a cloud hosting provider.
New Locations Coming Soon
We've seen an increase in the rate of uptake of our services in the last few months, as more companies move to the cloud. One of the questions being asked of us recently is what other locations we can support, apart from our London North site. We've been working away on adding more locations in the background for some time, and can announce that two new sites will be going live in the next month. These two sites will be Midlands, UK and East Coast, US. These sites match the same high specification that our clients are used to with tier 4 aligned UPS power feeds, and we're continuing our ethos of owning and maintaining all our equipment at the sites, as well as running our own network. If you would like more information, please get in touch with us and we'll be happy to help.
Nexenta prove their worth over Netapp and EMC
At VMworld 2011's recent Hands On Lab, Nexenta was in a shoot out with Netapp and EMC, coming out on top. We adopt the same hardware as Nexenta used for our SANs, delivering on our promise of best-in-class performance. The shootout involved 9.7 billion NFS operations and 131 TB of traffic, with over 140,000 cloud machines created in four days. Our strategy at iCloudHosting has always been to use a number of sensibly-sized SANs instead of one monolithic SAN. This way we hit the fault tolerance and scalability required by our customers, without becoming over-dependent on one hardware supplier. And as these tests show, we can hit any performance required!
